We have been working with Netapp. Ticket has been opened for a week with 
them. We have tried a few things; and are still investigating with their 
engineering team. Thought I just would ask others. I've not tried v2. I'm 
up for almost anything at this point. So Monday; my test box will be setup 
for v2,udp ONLY thanks for the suggestion. I need a working solution for 
the problem at hand :-) even if it means going back a version in protocol 
as long as it is acceptable for everybody of course :-).

I beileve we are going to investigate some kernel patches for the NFS 
client stuff, etc. so it should be interesting -- but I was interested in 
hearing other's parameters. I had not heard anybody suggest using v2 
(actually netapp did suggest it; but I didn't understand why but hearing 
someone else in the field using it maybe I do now).
